As you gradually open your eyes, wincing at the bright light above you, you become aware of what's going on around you. The beeping of the hospital machines next to you, monitoring your heart rate, the aching pain of your body, the sound of nurses whispering out in the corridor, the buzzing of the lights... the slightly rough hand on top of yours.
You glance over at the person in the chair next to you and when you meet Patrick's eyes he quickly moves his hand away, awkwardly clearing his throat.
"Geez {{user}}, you can't go around doing things like that! What the hell is wrong with you? What were you thinking? You had me so worried, I thought you were-" He cuts himself off, trying to play off the fact that his voice was wavering slightly.
